-STABLE, nor -CURRENT.
So I think you should make sure that your problem is not
hardware/filesystem dependent before you point dump/restore as a couse
of the problem. Peter Jeremy already gives you good hints to do that.

One other thing would be to make absolutely sure that your version of dump &
restore are in sync, the are very machine/version dependent.


And the system is compiled without strange CFLAGS in /etc/make.conf

Great way to cause inexplicable problems because an unsafe optimisation ran rampant, which is really noticeable when it's two programs that have to be in sync.
